At various diseases to get rid from which pumpkin juice helps, it is necessary to know that its treating basis are yellow painting substances, generally carotene, and also, from other connections, pectin and tart connections – flavonidy, having activity of vitamin P.
To know it to you it is necessary to understand that it is useful not only pumpkin juice, and and its pulp from which it is possible to prepare porridge, baked puddings, to use it in food baked in an oven. As treating active substances thus containing in pulp, unlike vitamin C which easily breaks up when heating, don’t collapse.
Therefore if there are conditions, store a fresh pumpkin and as required cook from it porridges, baked puddings.
Juice can be used it as filtered, and in the form of fresh mezgi. On sale there are two types of juice extractors – one for soft berries, another – for firm vegetables and fruit.
Several years ago in shops it was possible to get pumpkin juice, without mezgi and with mezgy (nectar). Them prepared with an additive apple, carrot and other juice or mezgi that increased their improving activity.
Now other times came: in shops and in the markets there is a stuff, and here to get pumpkin juice – a problem. But you and itself can prepare such mixed juice or nectars.
If a pumpkin low-sweet, in juice or mezgu it is possible to add not enough sugar or honey.
It is better to use svezheprigotovlenny juice (nectars). If have diabetes, use a pumpkin low-sweet, and for taste can add in it or juice of citruses (a lemon, orange), or it is sweet – sour apples.
And preparing juice for storage, it is necessary to pasteurize it well (an one-liter jar – 10-12 minutes, two-liter – 15-18 minutes, a three-liter cylinder – till 30 minutes) taking into account that will fill in it in ware heated up to boiling. But long don’t boil.
If there is no at you a juice extractor, it is possible to use a food processor and even an ordinary meat grinder, and juice from the pulp, passed through it, to wring out through a gauze or a sieve. And the remained oil cake in itself is very valuable. It can be used at preparation of vegetable cutlets, to add in soups, in baked puddings.
